Re: V8olvo repair using old Datsun Pick-up

We did a similar repair to the svx @ CMP fall 09. One driver got a bit frisky coming into T1 and ran into the back of the e28. The radiator gave-up the ghost, but we salvaged one from the crushed ranger and were able to finish the race. The car ran a little hot- where you couldn't really flog it too hard- but it finished.

Yeah, you've managed to bugger something.
Also, do you complain when your VHS deck doesn't play DVDs?

Guess I shoulda more accurately said Powerbook G4, but it's still old... actually probably 4 maybe 5 years.

Naw, but my son complains when they both won't play PB&J sandwiches

OK, yeah, a G4 will have issues playing any sort of HD content. Time for a new one... Steve Jobs will gladly take your money, though, so you're good there.

Needs more CPU power, flash is CPU intensive, and the vimeo site even more so.

Or install the Flash 10.1 prerelease that uses GPU's as well as the CPU. It really helps with sites like Vimeo and Hulu.

Err wait, I forgot.. It only works for the Intel powered Macs..
